FUROSHIKI: Augmented reality media that conveys Japanese traditional culture

Abstract

Furoshiki is a traditional culture of Japan which has prevailed in its everyday life and is widely used even today. In this paper, we propose a system through which users can be, while getting interested, exposed including to Japanese wrapping culture and attitude of dealing with things with care by augmenting an act to "wrap" with a piece of Japanese traditional furoshiki using the image-recognition technique and the motion-image projection technique.
